"Susan Emeline Cornwell, Consort of Lemuel Cornwell, who died at this place on Thursday, April 28, 1876, was an esteemable and worthy lady deserving of something more than a passing notice of her demise.
Mrs. Cornwell was born in Woodstock, Vermont in July , 1795 and was nearly 81 years of age. She was the daughter of Joseph Darling, a Revolutionary soldier, who fought in the Battle of Bunker Hill.
Mrs.Cornwell was a doctoress by profession. She nursed and saved the life of a soldier in the war of 1812. He had received 16 bayonet wounds and had been left for dead on the battlefield, but was picked up by rescuers and hauled on a hand sled to her father's residence. She with her father's family were great sufferers of that war. They were driven from their home in the winter, enduring great privation and suffering.
Mrs. Cornwell emigrated to Niagara County, New York with her family when but a mere child ten years of age and rode on horseback the entire distance. She at one time drew a pension from the government under the laws of the United States. At the age of 28 she married the second time and emigrated from Niagara County to Jackson County, Michigan in 1835 with six children. They were enumerated in the early census of that state. They migrated to Illinois in 1845 and to Wisconsin in 1846 to Utah in 1861 and drove her team a distance of some 1700 miles. While living in Utah, she was seized with a shock of palsy in the right side, from which she never fully recovered. In 1867 she left Utah
with her family for San Bernardino.
